#94 - Empowering The Artist Thru the Use of Publicity and Social Media

Have you ever wondered what it would take to get the attention of the media when it comes to promoting your new album, video, or tour? How do you go about setting up a new music release campaign? What does it take to build the correct press kit? How does media help expand your fan base, and ultimately your music career? Meet Kaytee Long who is the owner and founder of DIY Music PR and creator of the DIY Music PR Bootcamp. As a publicist for over a decade, she has experience across multiple beats of the entertainment industry including music, film and television.
